<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2239691, member: 31620"]I accepted a hole in this one because I have been looking for an Alexandrian Commodus for many years and would likely have accepted one in any condition. The hole doesn't detract from the numismatic interest in the coin but probably put enough people off so that I could afford it. A similar example, without the hole but in lower grade sold for five times the price I paid for this one three weeks later.</p><p> </p><p><b>Commodus denarius </b></p><p>Obv:– M COMM ANTO - N AVG PIVS BRIT, Laureate head right</p><p>Rev:- LIR AVG R M TR P - XVII COS VII P P, Libertas standing left folding pileus and sceptre</p><p>Minted in <b>Alexandria</b>.
